- My young boy thrives in this small classroom environment. This is a tight knit community with high parent involvement and outstanding teacher/student/parent relationships. The outdoor campus has a wealth of learning opportunities that the teachers use almost daily. The only asphalt is in the parking lot! The website and information you can request from the school is imformative and well designed. I've never met a happier group of students when school is done.

- My son attends Pathfinder in 7th grade. The faculty is deeply commited to each student and their academic sucess. Each faculty member is the kind of teacher one remembers for a lifetime. My son looked me the other day and said, "I love Pathfinder."

- I have a 14-year-old daughter who graduated from The Pathfinder School and is now attending a public junior high school. She is thriving academically, socially and artistically, in large part due to her experiences at Pathfinder. I also have a 4th grade daughter who attends Pathfinder, and she is receiving the same exceptional education that this independent school in Northern Michigan offers. Our classes are small, (18 maximum in middle school), our science, language, art, math and other co-curricular subjects are taught by experts in their fields, and our children have broad and varied hands on learning experiences. We are fortunate to have this educational institution in our small town of Traverse City, Michigan.

- This is such an amazing school. It is such a comfortable atmosphere, it makes kinds want to learn. I just graduated from Pathfinder and have not only great memories, but a great education and mind set for next year.
